"Depending on the age of draw base! & the material ie: hard board/5 mm ply etc. The draw base may of bullged some what, take out have a look! Flip the base up side down, use wood glue or PVA glue, maybe sit draw on its side with a weight on top until glue is dry. Once dry re-fit draw. Do not overload with weight of clothes. Try to add a drawing or picture next time one needs advice.
Kind regards Chris"
